ATHENA3, the Advanced Thematic Network of Women's Studies in Europe, brings together 112 institutes in the interdisciplinary field of Women's and Gender Studies. Our aim is to unite scholars, teachers, and stakeholders from civil society and public institutions in the field of gender and diversity.
ATHENA3 thematically focuses on Gender, Culture and European Diversity and Women Access and European Citizenship, consolidating expertise in three areas:
Research on education: evaluation tools, descriptors of competencies for women's studies, collections of best practices for ICT in gender education, databases for teaching material.
Forging links between universities and civil society: databases and collections of material available in women's libraries that serve communities with information and LLL-projects.
